Abstract
Abstract Apparatus for agitating liquids which may include foodstuffs and which includes a generally horizontal member which has depending therefrom a first axis and a second axis each of which is carried for rotation with respect to the generally horizontal member. Rollers are carried for rotation about each axis and for engaging the sides of a kettle. A shaft also depends from the generally horizontal member. Means are provided for selectively rotating the second axis and the second shaft which includes a generally planar member at the end thereof for agitating a fluid within the kettle.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
108 words
Agitating apparatus which comprises: an elongated generally horizontal member, a first axis and a second axis each being elongated and depending from said generally horizontal member, means for selectively securing said first axis to said generally horizontal member throughout a range of axially aligned positions, a first roller carried on said first axis for rotation thereabout and a second roller fixed to said second axis, a shaft depending from said generally horizontal elongated member for rotation about the axis thereof, said shaft having a generally planar disposed at the end thereof most remote from said generally horizontal member, and means for rotating said second roller and said shaft.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
108 words
Agitating apparatus which comprises: an elongated generally horizontal member, a first axis and a second axis each being elongated and depending from said generally horizontal member, means for selectively securing said first axis to said generally horizontal member throughout a range of axially aligned positions, a first roller carried on said first axis for rotation thereabout and a second roller fixed to said second axis, a shaft depending from said generally horizontal elongated member for rotation about the axis thereof, said shaft having a generally planar disposed at the end thereof most remote from said generally horizontal member, and means for rotating said second roller and said shaft.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
